Bill,
If all you are trying to do is return a multi-valued "1" or "0" string for a
multi-valued list of id's, you can use this in field 2 of your I-descriptor:
0002: CATS(REUSE(@ID:"*"), @RECORD<35>) ; TRANS("ARTLEDGER", @1, 0, "X") ;
NES(@2, REUSE(""))
Note that @RECORD<35> can be replaced with
thought I would want to manipulate an entire MV
attribute at once. :-)
Thanks again.

After seeing Ray W's response, I think I misread your purpose. What I
said was true, but irrelevant.
The formatting got screwed up on the email. Be gracious & let me blame
it on that.
I'll second Ray's answer instead.
Try using OCONVS (with an S) instead of OCONV.
The problem has nothing to do with I-descriptors.
OCONV treats the 1st argument as a string.
OCONVS will process each delimited substring individually.
Notice the "FD" (hex value mark) in the middle of the 1st output line
below,
but the "}", which is
The subroutine needs to do a READ for each value in the multi-valued argument
passValue.
You could also do a TRANS() function, which has this loop built in, within the
routine.
Note that individual elements of a dynamic array (multi-valued field) can be
null, so your null test must be inside t
